30 Seconds to Mars’ “America” is not worth high expectations

Overall, the album was not completely bad, just very mainstream  sounding. If the listener is a die-hard fan, especially of their early  2000’s music, they may really enjoy some of these songs such as “Walk on  Water” or “Rescue Me”. Though these songs sound like a reminiscent  mainstream evolution of that, basically it as if they took the  foundation of the songs, kept it, and changed the words.  Great songs  that stand out on this album are “Great Wide Open” and “Love is Madness”  featuring Halsey. These represent either Leto’s strong vocal talents,  strong features, or great instrumentals.
